In the automatic lane-keeping system (ALKS), the vehicle must stably and accurately detect the boundary of its current lane for precise positioning. At present, the detection accuracy of the lane algorithm based on deep learning has a greater leap than that of the traditional algorithm, and it can achieve better recognition results for corners and occlusion situations. However, mainstream algorithms are difficult to balance between accuracy and efficiency. In response to this situation, we propose a single-step method that directly outputs lane shape model parameters. This method uses MobileNet v2 and spatial CNN (SCNN) to construct a network to quickly extract lane features and learn global context information. Then, through depth polynomial regression, a polynomial representing each lane mark in the image is output. Finally, the proposed method was verified in the TuSimple dataset. Compared with existing algorithms, it achieves a balance between accuracy and efficiency. Experiments show that the recognition accuracy and detection speed of our method in the same environment have reached the level of mainstream algorithms, and an effective balance has been achieved between the two.
